Spring and dogs can mean muddy floors. If your floors are showing signs of April showers, vinegar is the answer!

Choose wisely what you clean them with!

Or maybe there's some left over floor cleaner on the floors from the past. Try rinsing your floors with very hot clear water. Or use a steamer to strip them of residue.
